(A) It shall be the duty of police officers to request the county animal control personnel to take up and impound in the county animal pound any animal found at large or any dog found in the village without inoculation tags contrary to any of the provisions of this chapter or statutes of the state.
(B) Police officers and county animal control personnel are authorized to go on private property in order to enforce this chapter or to take up any animal which is believed to be at large or take up any dog found without required inoculation tags; however, such persons may not enter a private dwelling house for this purpose without a valid warrant or the consent of the occupant. Nor shall such persons remove an animal believed to be at large without reasonably attempting to ascertain whether the property on which the animal is found is owned by the owner or the authorized keeper of the animal.
